Deleted all tweets from the birdsite other than this message:

"I'm no longer participating on Twitter (except for this tweet, daily). I don't want to lend any support to a sociopath who represents a growing threat to freedom of expression.

"You'll find me in the fediverse, where conversations are mostly civil.

"@ dangillmor @ mastodon.social"

@dangillmor I made the following statement in my profile then set account to private
@dangillmor - Did you delete them one by one or is there a way to do it all at once?
@dangillmor That's a hard move to make. Walking away from the audience you've built up over the years must be especially tough for a journalist. I quit Twitter in like 2015 when it was clear that they weren't going to ban Trump and his cohort, and it was tough, even with my nascent parasocial group there.
@dangillmor — May they always be civil!
@dangillmor I didn't get the choice to leave. I didn't kiss elons ass enough and got perma banned for calling a country singer a redneck
@dangillmor I'm not gonna stop mentioning it until people realize he doesn't care about free speech.
I got perma banned for saying redneck. If you still have Twitter do a quick search for that word and see the 1000s that come up. Anything from redneck news to redneck jokes etc
@dangillmor Congrats, and thanks for the reminder. I deleted all mine (but the "find me in Mastodon" one) in December, then a batch from 2009 reappeared several weeks later! Felt good to delete 'em again, hope it sticks this time.
@dangillmor Hard same. Thanks for the nudge.
@dangillmor Thank you. Couldn't agree more. Remaining on Twitter just empowers the billionaire narcissist.
@BlueDoggy @dangillmor F the Twitter Fascist🤬🤬🤬

@dangillmor I'm still planning on going out in a blaze of glory, with a kamikaze run against Malicious Malone's account; Malone's billion-bot army consistently had me suspended, if I dared to debunk any of his lies.

It was so bad, I was replying to, then blocking, the hundreds/thousands of bad actors in the replies amplifying him. I'm reasonably certain they're back to doing the same thing again.

I tried pointing out exactly who Malicious Malone was to Elno the red muppet Manchurian Qovidiot fifth columnist for Putin and Xi plague rat (and I called him that), thinking that would do the trick, but NOPE! Nothing.

Twitter did everything in its power to try and get rid of me in 2020-2021, and succeeded for most of 2022, but now it's like I'm untouchable. I'm not even being de-amplified on things that I definitely should be. Plus, all my receipts of the disinformation campaigns need to be left up for posterity. Given that they caused both Delta and Omicron.

@dangillmor
I just left "You know where to find me."
@dangillmor I don't want to quit Twitter. I want to get banned for saying bad things about Nazis.
@dangillmor
👏
I locked my account and only log in occasionally to see if any friends have DM'ed me. No doom scrolling or anything so I don't see any ads & give that SOB any attention or money from me.

@dangillmor

I just deleted most of my tweets too.

Fuck #elmo and #twitter

@dangillmor btw it's mastOdon.social

unless that was intentional to avoid twitter filters

@dangillmor Welcome to Mastodon where it's great and is up to us to keep it great.
@dangillmor It's getting trashier by the day.
